Building Housing Solutions

There is good reason why Barratt American Urban Division is part of numerous redevelopment projects throughout Southern California. Offering a broad range of urban housing to community involvement with residential services and public facilities that meet the needs of a growing population, we’re always looking beyond smart housing. We’re helping city officials revitalize entire urban areas.

That’s why in 2004, Barratt American was one of the first homebuilders to create a separate division that focuses solely on urban development. Barratt Urban’s purpose is to work closely with city officials to achieve a common goal, namely, the development of thriving villages in underserved urban cores. We utilize land on dilapidated or abandoned sites, to create workforce housing, parks, retail establishments and community services that are the catalysts for revitalizing entire urban areas. Our solutions meet the test of smart growth, efficient land use and ecologically friendly development.

Barratt Urban’s team brings a specialized set of skills, from financing multi-use projects to understanding urban environmental regulations to moving in numerous homebuyers without disrupting surrounding businesses or traffic. We work in collaboration with city officials to create urban solutions that have both immediate and enduring value.

Barratt American’s infill roots reach all the way back to the United Kingdom. Our former parent company has been at the vanguard of Britain’s urban renaissance, having rejuvenated towns and cities for more than 30 years.

As part of Barratt American, one of Southern California’s premier homebuilders, our Urban develops civic assets that benefit homebuyers, cities and society, alike.

At Barratt American, we believe in developing long-term relationships – with city officials, redevelopment agencies, our trade partners and homeowners. Our commitment to public-private partnership is the foundation for redevelopment projects today and in the future.
